Consider the sound wave travelling in ideal gases of \(\mathrm{He}, \mathrm{CH}_4\), and \(\mathrm{CO}_2\). All the gases have the same ratio \(\frac{P}{\rho}\), where \(P\) is the pressure and \(\rho\) is the density. The ratio of the speed of sound through the gases \(\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{He}}: \mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{CH}_4}: \mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{CO}_2}\) is given by
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(\sqrt{\frac{5}{3}}: \sqrt{\frac{4}{3}}: \sqrt{\frac{4}{3}}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\mathrm{v}_{\text {sound }}=\sqrt{\frac{\gamma \mathrm{p}}{\rho}} \\ \gamma=1+\frac{2}{\mathrm{f}} \\ \gamma_{\mathrm{He}}=\frac{5}{3} \\ \gamma_{\mathrm{CH}_4}=\gamma_{\mathrm{CO}_2} \approx 1.33=\frac{4}{3}\) (Experimental data)
